[Andycoleno9]

Monster performance

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Outstanding. First half he was pressing deep into Chelsea's half, always picking the right moments to push. Second half an old school back to the wall defensive masterclass. Some great first time passes through the lines too.

Clear MOTM for me.

 

[Prodigy24]

Immense in the second half when we needed to defend. Hopeless in the first half when he constantly got the ball at the right during builds ups.

 

[Acquire Me]

True warrior. Excellent performance.

 

[Rasmus_9]

Immense in the second half when we needed to defend. Hopeless in the first half when he constantly got the ball at the right.

I thought he was great in the first half pressing high up and winning all his 50-50’s

 

[RuudTom83]

He brings the fight, love it when he plays with full energy like today.

Usually can't put it together for 90 minutes, but he is usually a very good player and doesn't get any credit.

 

[TempusFugit]

Incredible CB, you don't randomly play for Ajax, Juventus and Bayern by 25. He's got special talent.

 

[Cutch]

Immense in the second half when we needed to defend. Hopeless in the first half when he constantly got the ball at the right during builds ups.

Nah he was great throughout

 

[The Corinthian]

Colossus

 

[IrishMcD]

Brilliant player, one of our few leaders that n the pitch who doesn’t seem to lose his head.

 

[Oranges038]

Solid performance.

 

[Adamsk7]

He is finally the centre back he promised. He’s someone that’s actually improved this season. Looks settled, looks a leader.

 

[harms]

You can see his leadership qualities so clearly.

 

[ValenciasDrilledCrosses]

Love him. SAF would have adored him.

 

[vivavic]

Great performance. Really liking him this season.

But he always look out of steam in the last third of the game, or maybe just the way he run

 

[McFred]

Thought he was really good. This system hinges on the LCB and RCBs not being afraid to push right up with their player so we don’t get outnumbered on the build up, and he is the best one at doing it.

 

[KingEric04]

What a player! He was our best player today and he was excellent in the second half when we needed him the most. He's only 25 and he's just entering his prime. Him and Yoro are going to be our center backs for years to come.

 

[pascell]

Surprised he wasn't given the armband when Bruno went off, he's been our best player this season.

 

[Red_Aaron]

My MOTM

Really brought the aggression that Amorim was calling for today

Brilliant

 

[Idxomer]

His best performance on the ball in the first half, we haven't seen that from him before.

 

[Geistman]

Surprised he wasn't given the armband when Bruno went off, he's been our best player this season.

Completely agree. I assume once Bruno leaves De Ligt will be first in line for Captaincy.

 

[Who's Kissing Cameras?]

Immense in the second half when we needed to defend. Hopeless in the first half when he constantly got the ball at the right during builds ups.

First half he was great too.

 

[Red Shorts]

Early into the season, but he is helping build my prediction I made of him being our POTY this season

 

[always_hoping]

Been our best CB this season.

So far this seadom he's been the Blbest and most consistent performer in such a poorly organised team.

 

[Cutch]

Been our best CB this season.

Best cb since he signed at the club and I dont think its close

 

[The Cat]

Immense in the second half when we needed to defend. Hopeless in the first half when he constantly got the ball at the right during builds ups.

Sorry but that's not right. He had a very good game including the first half.

 

[Cassidy]

Best cb since he signed at the club and I dont think its close

Agree

 

[bosnian_red]

There's a lot of quality in this squad. He's a quality CB

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Surprised he wasn't given the armband when Bruno went off, he's been our best player this season.

Who did? Went to the toilet and came back and Bruno had been subbed off. Shaw, Mount?

 

[united for life]

Puts a shift everytime he is on the pitch. Solid today. He was really good overall.

 

[Berbasbullet]

Warrior!

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Solid. Arguably better as a wide centre back. His front foot defending was amazing.

 

[Baneofthegame]

Outstanding. First half he was pressing deep into Chelsea's half, always picking the right moments to push. Second half an old school back to the wall defensive masterclass. Some great first time passes through the lines too.

Clear MOTM for me.

Basically this for me, was sensational.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Solid. Arguably better as a wide centre back. His front foot defending was amazing.

Was playing as a winger the first 10 mins. Her very good on the right side.

 

[Forevergiggs1]

Massive performance from him today. My clear motm

 

[OverratedOpinion]

Yeah he was great. Random little thing but he clipped a ball back in after a free kick in the second half and it was staggeringly good from a tricky angle.

 

[Red00012]

MOTM

 

[RedC]

He's a beast, reminds me of the best of Phil Jones.

 

[pascell]

Who did? Went to the toilet and came back and Bruno had been subbed off. Shaw, Mount?

Shaw

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

Shaw

Cheers. De Ligt is not part of the ‘leadership group’ which does seem somewhat strange - given I wouldn’t have Heaton, Dalot, Martinez and probably Maguire in the starting 11.
